For most people, it won’t matter so much, at least not directly. We all aren’t focused on flipping those assets, though enough of us are that resolution and calm will return. What are we doing though while our friends from college who were business mad continue to be mad? The answer is we’re producing, we’re building value by creating interactions that work and discarding those that don’t. I’m writing stories that (hopefully) spread and our production staff here at the paper are designing products and services that actually create something worth paying for.

We are now almost always connected and therefore have an opportunity to furthering innovation more quickly. Let’s do what we can in the meantime and hope that supervision and regulation returns to Wall Street and those unruly Brooks Brothers devotes.
